Quick Start

This page will guide you through select parts of the OpenBinder system and documentation to get started with it as quickly as possible, and leave out all that wordy wordy stuff.

Building

Following the directions on the Building page to get a working build. Note that until you want to play with multiple processes, you can ignore the Multiprocess Build and following material.

For a quick look at what C++ coding with the Binder looks like, you can go to the Binder Recipes. If you want to dig right in and start coding, you can make a copy of SampleComponent and begin by modifying that code.

cp -r samples/SampleComponent samples/MyComponent

Be sure to change the Makefile to give your component its own package and shell command name. Once that is done, you should be able to run smooved:

make runshell

And from with the Binder Shell then run your component:

/# my_component

The other sample code can be used for a similar purpose.

Binder Shell

Another way to start playing with the Binder is to go through the Binder Shell Tutorial. This will show you a lot of useful things you can do with the shell, while at the same time introducing you to many of the key Binder concepts.
